hey i have a 1994 honda accord with h22a and i believe that i have broke a rod and am wondering if i can go with type s pistons with eagle rods with the higher compression. would i need to sleeve the head get stronger internals plz help need to fix asap.

 

do not need sleeve with honda pistons and the eagle rods will also bump the comp a little more.

Sleeve the head? If you mean sleeve the block, then no you don't need to sleeve the block if you're going to use Type S pistons.

 

yup yur good, no need for sleeving till yur plannin on doin big time horsepower. i got type s pistons on my car n just headers and intake n im good wit dat for now.

^^False also.. You don't sleeve because of "High HP." You sleeve because of the type of piston used.

please dont say forged pistons REQUIRE sleeving.. mahles dont, and im not going to get into a debate on opinions on their quality.

you sleeve your block if your stock pistons (ringlands) are not durable enough (ie too much boost) and the pistons you choose to replace them with are not compatible with frm.

oem pistons (type s) are frm compatible.

That's only partly true and partly false. You can use stock pistons on stock sleeves, but if you boost it and make "high HP" you're going to blow your engine.

I don't know what you guys consider "High HP," but it doesn't matter.. Because no one has ever boosted a stock block and had it last.. It's common knowledge that Boost + Stock Block = B00m...

First, did I say anything about 'requiring' sleeves..? And I do not want to bring up that debate either. Mahles Pistons are made to work with the Stock FRM Sleeves, others are not. There's a difference.
I did not specify any specific brand/type/model/size piston in my statement. I said, you Sleeve because of the TYPE of piston that will be used. That includes Sleeving or not Sleeving while using OEM, Mahle, or any other Brand Piston..

Second, why the heck do people keep say you sleeve your block because it can't handle XX amount of boost...?? You don't sleeve your block just for boost. There's many many other reasons..
Eh, I don't know if that was what you were implying, but it seems people like to think that's the only reason you'd want to sleeve. Since boost is the only way to go..


People also sleeve for bigger pistons or if the FRM Sleeves are beyond repair, etc...
